It’s a false hypothetical. First of all, having an amazing girlfriend shouldn’t cause a GPA to drop. They can study together and inspire each other. And second, there’s rampant grade inflation at Yale. From the Yale Daily News: “Yale College’s mean GPA was 3.70 for the 2022-23 academic year, and 78.97 percent of grades given to students were A’s or A-’s. The data, which show a sharp hike in grades coinciding with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, come from a document presented at a November faculty meeting.”
